I am confused so are mechanics when i first start my car the choke stays on then seems to cut out after 4 seconds and stalls then when u start it back up it runs like i've taking plug leads off and when u go to put it in reverse it wont run its a xf falcon 5spd manual s pac 25th anniverserey le and also when i've drivin it for 10 minutes the radiator drops all the water and i can't seem to find a leak anywhere if anyone can tell me the problem with it it would be great

at a guess I'd say you have a faulty thermostat? Maybe a faulty radiator cap too. Don't assume becuase you bought a brand new thermostat the problems fixed. It's not uncommon to find a fault new thermostat.
Your ECU maybe trashed. Hence choke issues.

check your number6 spark plug .
if it has a dry rusty brown look the head could have coroded through. this is pretty common on the XFs .
there is a water way that eats out and lets the water into the number 6 cylinder.
you can get it welded up and m |
old B`s go hard .
new B`s have air. |
